PGM-IGT Invitational Championship a Big Success

The Club was proud to welcome the top players from Malaysia and Indonesia for the inaugural PGM-IGT Invitational Championship held at the Club from 2nd to 5th Nov 2016, jointly organised by PGM (Professional Golf of Malaysia) and IGT (Indonesia Golf Tour).

The three-day PGM-IGT Invitational Championship took on a mixed format of play comprising two categories. The first was an individual stroke play event over three rounds. Each nation was represented by 25 players and the winner will be determined by the lowest total score. The second category is the team event, where the 20 best scores of each team determined the winners.

After three days of competition, Ben Leong emerged triumphant in the individual category, registering a single-shot victory over Indonesia’s Daniel J. Masrin and seasoned campaigner Danny Chia. In the team event, hosts Malaysia garnered a 26-under-par aggregate to secure an overwhelming victory over their Indonesian counterparts, who returned a 66-over. It was a successful event all round, with players and officials from both competing nations enjoying wonderful camaraderie and creating new friendships amidst the high quality and highly competitive golf on show.
